The AV-1 is Canon's answer to those photographers who needed an Aperture-Priority auto exposure camera to better control the DOF (Depth of Field). Unlike the Canon AE-1 where the user selects the shutter speed, users for AV-1 select the aperture to use on the lens, and the camera will choose the appropriate shutter speed for the selected aperture. This camera is particularly suited to those who like to take landscapes, streetscapes or portraits, where control over the depth of field is more important than control over shutter speeds.

📷 Item Description:
🌟 This camera had been serviced and checked, and everything is in good working order.
✔ Camera is in overall excellent cosmetic condition, with very little signs of use on the body. The only visible user marks are some light surface marks on the baseplate from previous use with tripod.
✔ Light meter respond well to changes in light condition, with accurate suggested exposure settings.
✔ View through the viewfinder is bright and clear.
✔ Exterior, film chamber, mirror box, viewfinder lens had all been professionally cleaned.
🌟 NEW light seals had been installed in the camera to prevent light leaks from ruining your pictures. Don't try saving a few dollars buying an un-serviced camera as most vintage film SLRs had old, crumbling and sticky light seals that no longer works. You may end up having ruined pictures, and spending more money to get the camera serviced. See here for more details: https://carousell.com/p/93589855
✔ Battery compartment door is in good working condition with no chips.
✔ No shutter squeak or Canon wheeze during firing.
✔ Attached to the camera is a Sears 28mm F2.8 wide angle lens in excellent condition with bright, clear glass. No visible scratches or fungus and the focusing ring turns smoothly throughout the whole range.

As a added bonus, this lens has close-focusing capability an allows you to go within 20cm of your subject, with 1:4 magnification.
🆓 Included with the camera is a fresh 4LR44 battery, a brand new front lens cap (worth $4) and a bonus UV filter (which is very useful for film photography to remove UV rays). A used original camera strap (washed) is also available on request (otherwise it is assumed you will be using your own strap).
